"I take no pleasure in finding out that the president was more incompetent

[rodeodance]

than I thought"

Right on Maxine!


......Bush's presidency has hardly recovered, either.

He was seen as personally remote from the suffering in the immediate aftermath of the storm, and much criticized as the chief of an administration that botched its disaster response. Nationally, two-thirds of Americans still disapprove of Bush's handling of the Katrina disaster, according to an AP-Ipsos poll this month.

Democrats believe they can capitalize on this dissatisfaction with the government's performance in this fall's midterm elections.

"I take no pleasure in finding out that the president was more incompetent than I thought," Rep. Maxine Waters (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., told reporters in a teleconference.

Bush's two-day journey through storm-battered Mississippi and Louisiana was aimed in part at deflecting such criticism. He has been stressing that a one-year milestone is much too soon to judge the recovery and repeating that his administration's commitment to rebuilding has not waned.

5. Exasperating

"Democrats believe they can capitalize on this dissatisfaction with the government's performance in this fall's midterm elections."

The country is suffering under the worst president and worst administration ever, and the corporate MSM wants to treat Democrats as mere political opportunists for pointing that out and calling for a change.
